"Did you wear the jade pendant that the elder gave you when we went out for fun last time?"
Sheng Xiaoliu didn't understand why, but nodded anyway.
"I'm wearing it, brother-in-law, what do you want to do?"
Lu Xiao didn't say it directly, but just said.
"Just wear it. Come with me. We'll go to the palace to see the emperor and ask him about this in person."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Tingye beside him also remembered and said immediately.
"Tuizhi, do you know?"
Lu Xiao turned around and made a shushing gesture to him.
Gu Tingye shut up immediately.
The others were of course all bewildered at this moment.
Sheng Changbai then asked, "Tuizhi, you don't want to ask Zhong Huai's elder for help, do you? We've only met once, and we're so close, will he really help you?"
After these words were spoken, the others looked at Sheng Changbai.
Sheng Changbai, noticing the gazes, immediately explained, "Two months ago, when Tuizhi and I were out for a stroll, we ran into an elder from Zhonghuai and chatted with him for a few minutes. Although he didn't reveal his identity, his words suggested he was familiar with both Marquis Gu and the Duke of Qi. Father also knew about this."
Since he is very familiar with Lord Gu and Duke Qi, his status must not be much lower than theirs.
So everyone understood what he said immediately.
Hope rekindled in Madam Wang's eyes, and she looked at Gu Tingye.
"Brother Gu, is your elder qualified to see the emperor?"
Gu Tingye didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said.
"Yes, yes. If he is willing to help, my uncle will surely be safe."
More than that, he was originally a person.
He also knew how much the current emperor owed Lu Xiao.
So as long as Sheng Quan didn't commit a crime like treason.
If Lu Xiao comes forward, everything will be fine.
"That's great. I'll leave this matter to you. Please ask your elders for help."
Madam Wang said impatiently.
Gu Tingye said with a bitter face, shaking his head, "I can't. My elder actually dislikes me and just punished me the day before yesterday. Not to mention that I can't see him right now, even if I did, he certainly wouldn't help and would probably just add fuel to the fire."
As soon as these words came out, Madam Wang's face immediately turned gloomy.
Fortunately, Gu Tingye continued, "But he has a good impression of Tuizhi and Sixth Sister. If they go and plead for mercy, there will most likely be no problem."
Madam Wang was completely bewildered by this matter.
Your elders won't help you, but they will help my children.
What is the truth?
Fortunately, there are smart people on the scene.
The old lady of the Sheng family had already sensed something was wrong.
I'm afraid the elder that Gu Tingye mentioned isn't really just an elder at all.
So she said to Sheng Xiaoliu out of curiosity.
"Minglan, bring me the jade pendant you mentioned so I (the good king) can see it."
When Sheng Xiaoliu heard this, he immediately opened his purse.
Then he took out a jade pendant.
This jade pendant is obviously of extraordinary value.
However, after seeing the design of the jade pendant, Old Lady Sheng's pupils couldn't help but dilate several times.
For people like them who come from aristocratic families, the things they wear are very particular.
There are rules for people of different ranks to wear objects of different ranks.
So with just one look at some things, you can tell how extraordinary the owner is.
The old lady was knowledgeable and recognized at a glance that the gifted jade pendant was from the palace.
Or rather, it's something royal.
Considering Gu Tingye and Lu Xiao's attitude just now, she immediately guessed the identity of the so-called "elder".
The shock in the old lady's heart at this moment was naturally extremely intense.
She was really terrified.
That's the official family.
What merits and abilities did the children of the Sheng family have to earn the favor of the emperor?
It is truly a blessing from heaven..
Chapter 191 Entering the Palace
Of course, even if I guessed it, I couldn't say it out loud.
Then Madam Sheng returned the jade pendant to Sheng Minglan and said.
"You should go with Tuizhi. Remember to be careful with your words after you get there. Tuizhi has always had his own opinions, so just listen to him."
Mrs. Wang was still worried at this moment.
"Mother, do you really want to place your hopes on these two children?"
Old Madam Sheng immediately said, "If it's not on them, then what about you? Look at you now, you don't act like the mistress of the house at all. Now that there's a disaster at home, you should tighten the fences and guard the door tightly, don't let any cats and dogs get in, and don't let your family cause any trouble and become a laughing stock. This matter is settled. Everything will be discussed after the two children return."
Since Old Lady Sheng had said so, Madam Wang certainly didn't dare to have any more opinions.
In the Sheng family, Old Madam Sheng holds great authority.
Afterwards, Lu Xiao took Sheng Xiaoliu out and boarded the carriage.
The carriage moved forward towards the imperial palace.
Halfway through, Sheng Xiaoliu couldn't help himself and asked.
"Brother-in-law, that old man, could he be the current official?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "You're not stupid. Yes, he is the emperor. You have the jade pendant he gave you, so entering the palace to see him won't be difficult."
Lu Xiao was not surprised that she could guess this.
Sheng Xiaoliu has always been intelligent.
What was said in the room just now has already been discussed. It is a problem if she can't guess it.
And it wasn't just her, Sheng Changbai probably guessed something as well.
It's just that everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about it.
In this way, Lu Xiao brought the anxious Sheng Xiaoliu all the way to the gate of the palace.
"Stop, this is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to approach."
As soon as he got off the carriage, the guards at the palace gate immediately warned him.
Lu Xiao led Sheng Xiaoliu out of the carriage, then took the jade pendant from her hand and flashed it gently.
"Please, young man, please inform this young man that this year's top scorer, Lu Xiao, and the Sheng family's daughter, Sheng Minglan, wish to see His Majesty."
When the guard heard Lu Xiao's words, his first reaction was to drive the two away.
Can you see His Majesty whenever you want?
But when he saw the jade pendant in Lu Xiao's hand, his expression changed immediately.
As a member of the Imperial Guard, it is imperative that we know about the Emperor's personal belongings.
So he immediately said respectfully, "Sir, could you please let me see the jade pendant in your hand?"
Lu Xiao smiled and handed the jade pendant over.
Na Ran carefully took it and examined it carefully, confirming that the jade pendant was not fake before speaking again.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and report to my master."
Although he knew the jade pendant was not fake, he could not make the decision to let a stranger into the palace.
So this matter needs to be reported to their boss.
Lu Xiao nodded: "I understand."
Then the imperial guard ran into the palace with the jade pendant.
After a while, Lu Xiao saw him running back with an acquaintance.
This person was the guard who followed Zhao Zhen that day.
This man's surname is Lin, and he is the commander of the imperial guards.
As soon as he saw Lu Xiao, he immediately came forward with a smile.
"Greetings to Mr. Lu, and Miss Sheng."
He was very tactful and did not ask Lu Xiao how he knew the official's true identity.
Because it's not important.
The important thing is that Lu Xiao has already arrived with the imperial jade pendant.
"How are you these days, sir?" Lu Xiao asked with a smile.
Commander Lin also smiled and replied, "Thanks to you, Young Master, everything is as good as it can be. Your martial arts are truly amazing."
He also learned Lu Xiao's body-building exercises that day.
Anyone who can follow the emperor must be of extraordinary status.
So that day, Lu Xiao followed the principle of herding one sheep and letting a flock of sheep go, and taught him a lesson.
It's like forming a good relationship with him.
No, it can be used today.
If someone else had been guarding the gate, even if Lu Xiao and the other two had the jade pendants, they would probably have been questioned.
After all, they are too young, and it is their first time to visit the palace.
But now, it’s totally unnecessary.
Commander Lin respectfully returned the jade pendant and said with a smile.
"Please, both of you. I will take you to see His Majesty."
The tone was very polite.
After passing through the palace gate, Commander Lin asked.
"You two are here today for Mr. Sheng's business, right?"
Lu Xiao said, "That's right. I wonder how my uncle managed to anger the emperor."
Commander Lin was interested in establishing a friendly relationship with Lu Xiao, so he naturally shared everything he knew.
Then he whispered, "Master Sheng is actually implicated by his illegitimate son. Last night, he was drinking with someone at a brothel, and one of his friends, while drunk, started to talk nonsense, even saying that the emperor having a prince would ruin their future. Word of this reached the emperor last night, so today he has detained those elders in the palace."
After hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head helplessly.
It was truly destined that this disaster would happen.
Commander Lin continued, "But don't worry. The illegitimate son of the Sheng family only echoed a few words; he himself never said anything so outrageous. So the Emperor merely wanted to give Master Sheng a small disciplinary blow; he wasn't truly angry with him. Even if you didn't come today, Master Sheng would surely be able to return home safely by evening."
See? The Sheng family tried so hard to find out something, but Lu Xiao didn't even have to ask, and they just told him the news.
This shows how much Commander Lin values Lu Xiao.
At the same time, in the imperial study,
Our Lord Sheng Quan is feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.
